Also you said a population always had resistance to say sickle trait, or a bacteria to antibiotics. Are you saying that mutation does not occur? or simply that mutation is not powerful enough to effect a change in an individual?

I've noticed that Mike has completely avoided my question about natural selection and mutation. He can't tell me how natural selection occurs without mutations. Maybe if I keep bringing it up he'll be forced to answer it one way or another.
